Sample Coverage

I'm writing a sample coverage for practice, and the first striking thing I've noticed about writing the coverage is how hard it is to synopsis this screenplay in a few sentences, because it's all across the board. The main character, which is debatable whether she is the main, is mostly involved plot wise in helping the second character get across the States to find a plot of land his late father bought. The leads conflict isn't the driving obstacle in the script, and the antagonist is actually against this secondary character.

What I'm learning then is another insight as to why it's so important to have a tightly defined log-line--that is in order for execs, readers, and movie people to be able to summaries the story in a simple, quick, and marketable way. It makes a lot more sense when I consider it in this light.
